If Payton is gone, I think Brees becomes what Brett Favre was his last few seasons in Green Bay: an above average (but not great) QB who throws a ton of INTs.

I agree, to an extent. It's the marriage of the two that takes each other to another level and it will be almost impossible to find that somewhere else. But I think Brees is great with or without Payton and neither is all-time great without the other.

Without Payton, I think Brees will audible out of runs and throw 35+ times a game. For the next 4 seasons, he'd likely average 4,500 yards, 30 TDs, 18-23 INTs. It's not horrible, but it won't win any championships.

I think Payton could find something close with another QB if he took time and picked someone out to work with. Problem is, I don't see him sticking around that long. I'd love to see him stay as our coach long-term like coaches used to in the old days. After Brees retires, I don't think we'd get more than a year or two out of him. He'd retire for a while and then come back a few season after if the right job opened up

You know we go out we give a LB coach a chance and this is the Thanks we get we need a local coach someone that loves NO and feels its the best job ever and wouldnt leave for nothing cause he loves the South loves NO.

Ill be happy if Payton finishes with Brees and finds a great successor at QB whose name isn't Daniel, Canfield or McCown.

I'm not sure how I feel about Vitt as a potential Saints Head Coach. I do like him more than you guys do. He has good football knowledge, I think he prepares guys well, and I think he's a great motivator. But I need to know if Williams was telling the truth in regards to Vitt arrogantly and foolishly allowing the p4p program to continue. Was that a Payton, Vitt or Williams decision??
